After half a year of phone calls with the SSA I've reached a total impasse getting an SSN. I'm a legally working alien in California on a TN NAFTA visa. The SSA won't issue me an SSN because their system was unable to determine what type of resident my visa was for (temporary vs permanent, which makes zero sense to me, as the TN NAFTA visa is a temporary three-year maximum). The visa is valid and issued from a US Consulate abroad (issued correctly, according to the Consulate.) I'm at a total loss for what to do. Is there still a way for me to file my US taxes without an SSN? What am I supposed to do? Has anyone else been through something similar and found a solution? I've tried going to the local SSA office, but they said they couldn't edit or delete the existing application as it is being handled by Maryland HQ.
